SUMMARY:Gong Gaada • Glochids • lucky dragons
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nGong Gaada\nGlochids\nlucky dragons \ndonate eight\ndoors at nine \nat\nHuman Resources\n410 Cottage Home Street\n90012 \nGONG GAADA \nInspired by gamelan traditions as much as the contemporary experimental scenes of Indonesia\, Gong Gaada is a Los Angeles-based trio exploring a hyrbrid form of their own devise. Utilizing a couple reyong – the arrays of metal gongs used in Balinese gamelan – and suling – bamboo flute – and modular synthesizer\, the group lays out familiar and creative patterns and tones as a matrix for departure. The analog electronics pick up and process of the acoustic drama in real-time\, honing in on certain frequencies\, the modular output augmenting their sounds with new-found harmonics and psychedelic flitter. Groove intact\, noise rips and punctuates in step with the hypnotic rhythms of their struck metal attack. This fresh ensemble has performed just few times locally\, and this summer took their sound to the east coast\, including a performance in Vermont at Gong Brattleboro: Experiments in Gamelan. Gong Gaada is Matthew Clough-Hunter – Reyong and Suling\, Hirotaka Inuzuka – Reyong\, Cordey Lopez – Modular Synthesizer. \nGLOCHIDS \nGlochids is the aural ecology of Oakland-based artist James Roemer. Via sounds captured and made\, gently tugged and pulled\, Glochids intuits without regard for the lines between the organic and mechanic. This diaristic audiosphere draws from environmental recording\, concrète and electronic sounds\, paced with savvy edits and flow. In live settings\, the play table fills with selections from a cache of vernacular electronics and dead media. (On occasion – for example – the artist utilizes a magnetic stripe card reader to store simple samples and warble possibly imperfect playbacks.) Acoustic emanations are also in the cards\, as gamelan sounds have cameoed live and on record. Roemer’s affinity to the Indonesian form is subtle but evident in Glochids tonal and aesthetic predilections. A sonic lifer and veteran of the road\, Roemer continually experiments in the field. This year he resided and worked through the Austral Summer in Antartica\, followed by a musical tour of Indonesia\, bringing inspiration full circle into sound. Glochids has released on labels including Ascetic House\, Weird Ear\, and Phinery. \nlucky dragons \nFor this event lucky dragons will play spectral symmetries of soul.

Wellman’s solo efforts have been released on Room 40\, Dragon’s Eye Recordings\, Touch Radio\, and Industrial Coast. Along with Aaron Bartell\, he is part of the collaborative listening duo Zzyzxzyzz\, which focuses on electromagnetic and other inaudible by ear sound worlds.

SUMMARY:Living in the Age of Uncertainty and the Pending Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in conversation with Catherine Malabou\, Kenric McDowell\, Jaden Adams\, Christine Meinders and Matthew Donovan to discuss new forms of life that enable the acceleration of climate change\, how the political landscape is mediated by the climate crisis\, and foundational anthropocentric assumptions in technology paradigms and recent attempts to expand design thinking to include non-humans along with their implications for culture at large. \nThis discussion is a part of Ecology of the Edge\, on view November 29th-December 8th. \n__________ \nAbout the speakers: \nCatherine Malabou is a French philosopher and professor of philosophy at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) at Kingston University\, at the European Graduate School\, and in the department of Comparative Literature at the University of California Irvine\, a position formerly held by Jacques Derrida.
